Lammping – Flashjacks

 

Lammping – Flashjacks
Echodelick Records – 2021
Rock, Psych, Stoner, Alternative
Rated: ****

One of the most divergent records to make the September Doom Charts might just be the new Lammping album Flashjacks. Soulful, groovy psychedelic rock straight out of Toronto!  The new Lammping album Flashjacks packs a stoner punch and alternative drum work, breaks and samples… And that puts Lammping in a totally different corner. And nobody puts Lammping in a corner… Sorry about that, but it just had to be said. And well, there also immediately, for some weird and possibly insane reason, came to mind that quote from the High Fidelity movie: “I will now sell five copies of “The Three EPs” by The Beta Band.” Indeed, that kind of feel… It’s different and aimed to wow the heavy music freaks that are always on the lookout for something obscure. But there’s the rub, the Flashjacks album does not deserve to remain obscure. It has all the alternative pop instincts one can want for, a bit of an oddball predilection and a wild sense of space. I love it, but I love The Beta Band as well…
